i have a 2000 342 with 502's. very nice riding boat. max gps speed 71 mph. have been on a 2000 342 with 500 efi and extension boxes. this was a custom built boat for mcmachen marine in michigan. the drive loacations were altered to increase the "x" dimension. this boat ran 80 on gps. i think they still have it for sale. only problem, this was a "well used" demo boat. as for the pq vyper, the cabin in the 342 is bigger, couches larger, v-berth is larger and more open. head is smaller due to the raised deck of the pq. speed of pq is great due to the stepped hull.cockpit space is about the same in the 2000 and under 342's, but larger in the 2001 and up. in 2001 baja moved the bulk head back about 30 inches to increase the cockpit space, but decreased engine room and sunpad space. on my 2000, i have about 2 feet in front on the engines, which i made a storage box for tools,props etc, and the sunpad is a full 6 feet. lots of room to fix, clean, remove engines etc. only regret, the boat needs more speed. i am not sure the cost of the 500 or 575 would warrant the minimal speed increases. just my opinion...
